84 – GER J67 – GER Ultramarin

The wait may have been long, but it was worth it.

Exquisite detail, down to the underside of the cab roof !

Very pleased, runs very well and very quick dispatch from Accurascale.

Required a little research to fit one of the three detail parts, which I could add, so I don't require the NEM coupling.

Accurascale are onto another winner with their delightful representation of the J67/68/69 locomotives. These exquisitely detailed engines are a perfect acconpaninent to the burgeoning range of GER stock from other manufacturers. My three J69s are used to recreate the Jazz services and all the shunting maneuvres entailed. All run very smoothly and reliably, and easily have more than sufficient power for 8 mk1 coaches. Thankyou Accurascale!

Received my GER Buckjumper, detailing is stunning, the livery is gorgeous. The model looks and feels like the real prototype, like the removable magnetic cab roof and smokebox door. However, it would have been nice if the firebox flicker worked on DC rather than just DCC. Had a couple of derailment issues but it seems to have settled now and runs just fine.

an amazing little engine an a great runner.
absolute pain to upgrade to dcc sound tho an taken ages to get running aswell as it did on dc but got there in the end

Good .

What a glorious little loco! It had to be the GER Ultramarine livered special edition, as I live in East Anglia, where the ghosts of the Great Eastern still stalk the railways.

I've seen the prototype on which it's based at Bressingham on several occasions, and to my amateur eye it's a very faithfully reproduction. The cab detail is outstanding, as is the livery application. Its hauling capability is just awesome, and it has a track presence that belies its diminutive size.

I was so impressed with mine that on delivery, I went straight to the Accurascale
website to buy the other special edition version in BR Blue, but it had sold out. He who hesitates is lost, I guess...

Another Accurascale success.

After a prompt faulty exchange this is a very nice loco

Absolutely fantastic model.

Absolutely beautiful model. At the price it was sold at, totally worth it. The Great Eastern Railway is under-represented in model form. I Love the customisation features included with the model as well as the research put into the reading material. Only downside is that the crew are sold separately rather than sold with the model itself.

Another excellent model from Accurascale. Mine ran perfectly out of the box. I like the fact that you have to fit your own coal load. I also welcome the magnetic roof as this made fitting a crew very easy. Only minor disappointment is the lack of a firebox glow on DC.

Another lovely creation from the team at Accurascale.
This blue liveried J67 is gorgeous and with the contrasting coloured cab and it's detachable roof makes a formidable example of these ubiquitous locomotives.

The only negative item I will report was that one of the buffers on the locomotive front had detached during transit but no damage was done and a tiny amount of glue rectified the issue.

Well done team.

very good
but why no coal in bunkeer

Amazing loco love it

It's a very detailed and smart looking locomotive. The removable destonation boards are also a great touch. Sadly it is not that easy to service and tends to stutter at slow speeds, but that shouldn't be a big problem on DCC with the built in capacitor.

This is a superb model. Runs very smoothly right out of the box. It's unusual not to have a representation of coal in the bunker but this is easily remedied. Competitively priced and excellent value for money.

Hi,
A truly fantasticly detailed model locomotive. Its performance is stunning..!👌
However, not having pre-fitted speakers as specified is disappointing..!🤔
Otherwise Fabulous
I have purchased three of these as I requested these originally to be produced being a G.E.R. Stalwart and fan. I will purchase a forth shortly, the J68 as well. Well Done..! I love them..!❤️
More Great Eastern pre-grouping Locomotives please..!👌✔️👍

A little beauty in a box, the detail is simply stunning the pulling power is impressive and the price is fantastic for what is packed into this little loco. Accurascale you guys are unbeatable in all aspects of your business. Well done all

A lovely model in a beautiful livery, and the detail has to be seen to be believed. Tempted to get another. . .

Look guys its not just your models, which in my books are absolutely lovely, it is you guys, your personalities, your ethos, your enthusiasm, your professionalism, your respect of and interaction with the customer that I have come to thoroughly enjoy. May I single out Paul Isles in particular as it is with him I have conversed the most, starting with the fabulous chaldron wagons, and this just beautifully reflects in the stunning beautifully detailed models you so enjoy producing. My hope is you guys, your company stays focused! And I sincerely wish you the very best in all your enterprise

I model BR Blue in the 1980’s so why do I need a Great Eastern Tank Engine?
I thought I didn’t but just take a look at it. That Ultramarine blue just draws you in. It’s an absolute stunner. I had to have one and I’m glad I did. A gorgeous model with the attention to detail we have come to expect from the team. Cracking!

I went for the gorgeous GER livery J67.

On the whole a very nice model. Great detail, livery is gorgeous and well applied. Diecast boiler and running plate. Runs well on my layout. On DC it might hesitate or stick on points at low speeds, but no worse than most 0-6-0s and better than many. I thought the gearing could be a little better for running at low speeds. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it.

I knocked a star off due to a couple of things:
- The instructions on how to service the model appear to have been cut and pasted from a different model, so are incorrect. In particular they don't mention you have to remove the DCC chip before you can take the body off.

-Access for servicing could be better designed. If you want to take the body off as removing the chip through the smoke box door you apparently also need to remove the brake rigging. I've not needed to do this yet myself, but based on reviews I've seen it looks a bit of a faff and could be easier.
- Firebox glow doesn't work on DC. Other manufacturers manage this so it's a shame it's DCC only.

However none of these are game changers for me and overall I'm very happy with the model.

Beautiful, just absolutely beautiful Model. Haven't had a chance to run it but it is stunning!

Stunning model! I love the changable name plates and the beautiful ultramarine paint. Its a chunky locomotive but could be alittle weightier than is is for its size though Im sure I can find space to add alittle. Overall great model and runs well so far!
